Abstract

This study investigates the influence of semantic integration on the reading proficiency of 6th-semester students at Muhammadiyah Tangerang University, focusing on the novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Employing a quantitative research design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the study engaged 10 students majoring in English Literature. Results indicated a significant improvement in reading proficiency, with an average increase of 15 points in test scores. Questionnaire feedback highlighted the effectiveness of semantic techniques in enhancing vocabulary understanding, text comprehension, and critical thinking. Despite limitations such as the small sample size and focus on a single text, the findings underscore the potential of semantic integration strategies to boost academic reading skills. Future research should aim to expand the sample and explore a wider range of literary works to validate and extend these findings

Abstract

This journal explores the vocabulary development of a two-year-old child named Salma, using Jean Piaget's cognitive development theory as the analytical framework. This research adopts a qualitative case study design to explore vocabulary development. By observing Salma's interactions within her natural environment and through parental interviews, this research identifies significant milestones in her language acquisition. Key findings include Salma's mastery of object permanence, engagement in symbolic play, and the formation of two-word phrases, all of which align with Piaget's sensorimotor stage. The role of responsive parenting and the quality of maternal speech are highlighted as crucial factors in Salma's rapid vocabulary growth. This case study underscores the importance of providing language-rich environments and encourages the integration of Piaget’s theoretical insights into early childhood education practices to foster cognitive and linguistic development.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of social media on cross-cultural communication among young adults, emphasizing its role in shaping cultural awareness, empathy, and identity. By analyzing data collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with Indonesian young adults aged 18–30, the study uncovers the dual impact of social media. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok are identified as key facilitators of cultural exchange, fostering understanding and reducing stereotypes through engaging multimedia content. Participants reported enhanced cultural awareness and empathy, often discovering new traditions and norms while gaining appreciation for their cultural heritage. However, challenges such as language barriers, misinterpretations, and stereotyping highlight the need for improved digital literacy. Employing a qualitative approach and thematic analysis, the study underscores the transformative potential of social media in bridging cultural divides. These findings suggest that responsible and informed use of social media can amplify its capacity as a medium for intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding.
